Tracking CPD
CPD can now be tracked using the OACETT member portal. Watch the instructional video below to learn how.
If they prefer, audited members have the option to submit CPD activities via this
excel spreadsheet rather than through the portal.
Depending on the activity, documentation will differ and may include such items as:
- transcripts, receipts, course outlines, certificates
- written confirmation from employer that member attended and passed
- submission of an article written or presentation given
- study notes and resource lists
These are just a few of the many possibilities. See the charts below for additional supporting documents.
